Totally agreed on the seasonality of BW, but just trying to keep ahead of things -- I know it takes a while to decide on something and get it through production.Really looking forward to those checks! My closet is practically all solids at the moment, interspersed with the S&M madras that haven't seen the light of day since Summer/early Fall.Also, echo-ing AcuteStyle's wish for needing a suit...

Just wanted to send a quick note how much I love my Soft Casual Chambray.
The material is fantastic and surprisingly soft while remaining substantial. The cut is perfect for anyone who wants to wear a more traditional chambray while remaining CBD. I tend to struggle with this -- how to dress sharp, while still dressing youthful.
Additionally, i have to say that I like the higher button stance on the non-BD collars. I didn't think I would enjoy it, or even use it, but...

A vintage Hickey Freeman Sportcoat. Mostly green, although there's a lot of other colors and texture woven in. It has the typical wear and tear for a vintage jacket, but has a ton of life left. Nice soft shoulders and a soft feel.
$40 -- Price includes shipping.

Allen Edmonds Clifton model size 11.5 D -- $100 $90 including shipping in the continental US.
These are factory seconds that were only worn a few times -- the last is slightly slimmer than I expected. Fully disclosure, there is a very small scuff that is hardly noticeable when worn.

Nearly new Gold Shaggy Dog sweater from J Press for sale. $100 $90 $85 OBO. Price includes shipping in the continental US.
I purchased this on sale a few years back, but was only able to wear it a handful of times. I'm looking to clear out my closet and my loss is your gain.
